I received an invitation from Summer to a team bonding thing at her house. I decided to go so I pulled on a crop top, mom jeans, and my converse before I left. When I teacher her house everyone including Baxter and Wren was there. Summer made everyone burgers. Summer, Poppy, Bodhi, and I are all standing around talking.

Poppy: Bo no more texting your girlfriend tonight

Summer: Uh, excuse me girlfriend

Poppy: Her name's Tuscany

Great Bodhi's talking to my ex. I wonder how this will go.

Bodhi: She's a surfer from Queensland she dmed me

Poppy: They've never met in real life

Summer: Wait aren't you from Queensland KeKoa

KeKoa: Yeah why

Summer: Do you know Tuscany

KeKoa: No I've heard that name but I've never met the girl

Summer pulled her trampoline over by her pool and started doing flips into the water.

Summer: Show us what you've got Queens

I went up and did a double backflip into the water before getting out and letting Summer continue.

Summer: Hey cap just practicing some airs

Wren walked up to the side of the pool and said something to Summer.

Summer: What's that Wren of course you can have a go

Everyone started cheering her on. When she did it she took a minute to come back up and when she did she said she hit the bottom and messed up her ankle. Ari and I helped her out and over to a chair. I walked over to summer and we started talking.

Summer: Why do you care for her so much

KeKoa: Because even though I had feelings for Ari a few years ago I support his happiness and as long as he's happy I'm happy

Summer: She's faking it and you know it

KeKoa: So what if she is faking good for her you can't just come back after a year and be jealous that Ari moved on after you ghosted everyone Summer. You did that to me last time you were here I thought you wanted me and then you ghosted me for Ari

I stood there quiet waiting for an explanation when Bax walks up and taps Summer's head.

Bax: You look hungry maybe I should make you a burger or something

Summer: Shouldn't you be look after your sister

Bax: She's got Ari

Without saying a word to me Baxter walks over to the grill and that's when I decide it's my time to leave. I grab my phone tell Wren I hope her ankle gets better and without even telling Summer or anyone else I was leaving I disappeared from her "team bonding".

*The next morning*

Today's a big comp. I'm looking around and notice Tuscany in an interview but I didn't pay much mind since I was listening to Bodhi tell the girls about their day together earlier. Wren came over and asked Bodhi about Tuscany and then told a lie that they had different circles. Then I heard Bax tell Summer to try and pick the right wave. While we're all standing there I look over and catch Tuscany staring at me. I know she still has my number because I texted her when I found she was going to be in town and I told her good luck and she responded thanks.

*Little later*

Eli told Bodhi about 'what she heard' from Tuscany even though it wasn't true. I just sat back and kept my mouth shut. My heat came up and I placed first. When I got back in I went on my phone and received a text from Tuscany.

Tusc

Tusc- Hey

Koa- Hi

Tusc- I've seen you in Queensland a lot when's the next time you're back there

Koa- A week or so to see my sis and niece why

Tusc- I wanted to catch up

Koa- Why aren't you talking to Bodhi

Tusc- She's too close with Wren and you know what happened between Wren and I so I told her that I have a gf back home

Koa- You really haven't changed

Tusc- I still love you KK I always will no one can replace you, you were my first love and I didn't have anything planned for next week if you agreed to hangout I just wanted to catch up and talk

Koa- Fine

Tusc- So we'll hang out

Koa- Yes

Tusc- Perfect

————————————————————————

Don't get me wrong I feel bad for what Tuscany did to Bodhi but at the same time it's not right to be in a relationship with someone when you still have feelings for someone. I quickly got off the messages and walked over to Poppy, Bodhi, and Summer.

KeKoa: I was thinking us girls could all catch up and talk at my place tonight

Wren: Sounds great

Wren scared me she came out of nowhere.

KeKoa: Bodhi, Poppy... Summer

Bodhi: Sure

Poppy: Yeah

Summer: Actually Baxter and I have plans

I just nodded and Ari think Wren could sense the hurt cause she placed a hand on my lower back. I've known Baxter for a while I liked him while I lived in Queensland but he was constantly with different girls so I convinced myself I didn't have feelings for him and that I liked Tuscany I mean she made me so happy and everything and then Baxter moving to shorehaven resurfaced buried feelings. The girls including Wren and I headed back to my place to talk and hangout. Once we got there we went and sat in my living room.

Poppy: So KeKoa you and Baxter huh

KeKoa: He's clearly into Summer

Bodhi: Don't act like we didn't see the way you looked at him

KeKoa: Guys seriously he's into Summer

Wren: We get you're hurt cause of it but you don't have to hide it from us like we're them

Poppy: Yeah I mean come one I get it we all haven't talked in a while but we know when you're hurt

Bodhi: Just like a year or 2 ago with

Poppy quickly covered Bodhi's mouth and looked at her like she was telling her to shut up.

Wren: With who I wanna know

Bodhi yanked Poppy's hand off her mouth and looked around at us.

KeKoa: I think it's best if it stays kept private

Wren: I promise I won't get mad and I won't be rude about it

Bodhi: With Ari

KeKoa&Poppy: Bodhi

Wren: Wait really

KeKoa: Yeah before Summer came Ari and I had gotten close

Bodhi: They were inseparable unless it was heats or of course them at their houses

KeKoa: But then Summer came along she kissed him and before I knew it I was by myself and Ari was falling for her

Poppy: That's why when you got here we all told you we had another team mate who had taken a break but was coming back this year

Bodhi: Summer making Ari fall for her took a toll on Baylen

KeKoa: But I'm over it and I'm so happy for you guys

Wren: Awwwe thank you

Wren and I hugged tightly. We went back to talking about random stuff and it started to get late and we decided to just have a sleep over. Before I knew it we were all asleep on the couch.
